A circuit in which metallic conductors are used and in which the ground or earth forms no part.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit in which the two sides are inherently electrically dissimilar.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit of nonlinear elements that restricts the electrical excursion of a variable in accordance with specified criteria.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit or device for combining two or more signals carrying the same information received via separate paths or channels with the objective of providing a single resultant signal that is superior in quality to any of the contributing signals.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit or device that detects failures or aberrations in the logic or operation of crypto-equipment. A crypto-alarm may inhibit transmission or may provide a visible and/or audible alarm.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit or instrument that detects the difference in phase between corresponding points on two signals.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit providing priority telephone service, typically for key personnel; the circuit is activated when the telephone handset is removed from the cradle causing a ringing signal to be sent to the distant unit (s. ) See verified off-hook.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit that avoids loss or gain of heat. For example, a computer could clear a "1" in a register by subtracting the "1" instead of erasing it, thereby expending less heat.
Industry:Telecommunications
A circuit that can be used simultaneously either for telephony and dc telegraphy or for telephony and signaling. Note: Separation of the two may be accomplished by frequency discrimination. Synonym voice-plus circuit.
